"Recently, Mike and Brian replaced my old and leaky water heater & tank with a tankless system. The work was done with professionalism and promptness; they cleaned up the work areas thoroughly before they left. I would definitely call on them if I need similar-type work done in the future."

"I called for this service because I was afraid my drain might become clogged after I kept hearing a "suspicious" noise. Thought it would be better to find out if there was a problem rather than wait until the basement flooded! When I called, Jason said he could come two days later, so I made the appointment. An hour later, he called and said he had a cancellation and did I want him to come right away. I did! He carefully tested each toilet and drain, but even though he heard the sound, he felt that it was only air in the pipes, nothing serious. To be sure, he checked the main drain, which needed to be cleaned out (10 years since the last time). I asked him to clean it, and he took care of it immediately. He was personable, professional and very efficient--returning the storage room to its original condition after the work, and charged a very reasonable amount for the job. Unlike some larger companies, he didn't charge a huge amount just to show up, and didn't suggest all kinds of things to be done that were not needed. I recommend him very highly, and have already put his number into my contact list for the next time I'm worried about a plumbing issue!"

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

For homes with a septic tank, harsh chemicals like those found in drain cleaner or bleach aren’t recommended. Some chemical drain cleaners can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the septic tank or damage your pipes. For homes with a septic tank, you can choose drain cleaners specifically formulated for use with septic tanks or go with a drain snake. When in doubt, make sure you know who to call for a clogged drain

No, it is not advisable to spray pesticides down the drain in your home. Most drinking water and wastewater treatment systems are not properly equipped to remove pesticides. Should pesticides infiltrate waterways, they can cause harm to plants, fish, or other living things. In most areas, pouring pesticides down the drain is illegal due to the potential harm it causes. 

Professional plumbers use many high-grade chemicals to unclog drains. Many use hydrochloric acid, known as muriatic acid, when it comes to extreme blockages. 

Bleach is generally not recommended for your shower drains. Although diluted bleach can technically help clean your drain, it will not unclog your pipes. In fact, bleach can harm your plumbing system because it’s so powerful. The bleach can change the color of your sink and even corrode metal pipes and fittings.

Often, people reach for bleach because it's already in their house. But it's worth getting a plunger or a drain snake for the job instead. It'll be a lot less money to buy a new plunger than to pay a plumber to repair or replace damaged pipes.

If your washing machine drain is clogged, that isn’t a good sign. Unlike toilet drains or kitchen sink drains, there isn’t matter that is easily broken up with a plumbing snake, and more care is required. If you’re in an old house or have mineral-rich water, there could be a buildup inside the pipe. Either way, if the blockage isn’t obvious and doesn’t dislodge with a snake, you need to call a pro—otherwise, you risk damaging integral plumbing.
